Andreas Gursky is a German photographer known for his colossal architecture and landscape pictures, often taken from a high point of view.
Visually, Gursky is drawn to large, vast, anonymous urban spaces.
 
I love how his work is so very contradictory, how every thing seems so messy and yet is completely organized.
Another amazing quality I admire in Gursky's work is his rigour: the perfection of his perspectives, the linearity of his images.
